Ohio Toddler Homicide Suspect Arrested in Framingham After Multi-Agency Search

The capture follows a week-old warrant prompted by findings that a 2020 toddler death in Columbus was caused by blunt force trauma.

Overview

  • Dioblis Williams, 25, was taken into custody in Framingham, Massachusetts, on August 27 on a warrant charging him with homicide of a child, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
  • Framingham police said Williams was disguised in a wig when an officer spotted him before his arrest, and he is set to be arraigned in Massachusetts on a fugitive charge.
  • Officials said Williams will be returned to Ohio to face the murder charge after the Massachusetts court appearance.
  • The victim, 2-year-old Jamir Jones, died on March 25, 2020, and an autopsy and criminal complaint determined he suffered blunt force injuries rather than drowning.
  • Columbus police coordinated with the USMS Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team and Massachusetts partners after a warrant was issued about a week earlier, and investigators asked the public for additional information.
